What a Fool!!!!!!!!
I did not understand, what this topic is all about, so did a research.
For those, who did not understand either - rider #13 hit bike #62 brakes, while doing ~200km/h (120 miles/h) :doh:
there are some videos on youtube, but they probably will be blocked because of content rights (some already are), so I made a screenshot from one of those.

It said something happened earlier at turn 4 between them? So, sounds like he's retaliated, but a very stupid and dangerous thing to do imo.
Oh dear that was not very bright and only 2 weeks off :thumbs_down:
Hard close racing is fantastic but pulling another riders brake leaver at 150mph he should be thrown out if the sport full stop .
It's not like it's he first offence.
You need to be able to trust the people your riding that close to or people could be killed.
:soapbox:
:furious:
:cheers:
What a complete and utter :jack:
a 2 race ban only? - he got off light, should be banned for life. :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :rulez:
I dont think i can ever remember anything like that before !!!! .... it was the most dangerous thing i think ive ever seen :thumbs_down: , im still finding it hard to believe he actually did it !!!
Needs taking out the back and having the rules of close racing imprinted on him.
Racing is about trust, trust that your fellow competitors are not goin to try and kill you.
Unbe-fricking-lievable !
Dangerous - piss him off.
Agree no team penalty - not their fault - but I reckon they should sack him.
Should be sacked, has had a few run ins with riders & officials. This one is just unbelievable.
Maybe he couldn't reach the kill switch...
What an absolute bloody moron. Should be banned for at least a year min.
They should have tested him for drugs.
This is just a symptom of sport these days ..... win and win at any cost !!! there is just far to much money being pump in to it and in return you get high stakes and high team pressure , that does not excuse this bloody moron ! but i think you will see more and more of it as the money stakes grow look at the cricket and serina williams melt down in tennis ..... to much money !!!
To see what could have happened,have a look at the 2011 Daytona 200 last lap crash on you tube,
Talking of racers and track days....

lot of us don't have access to farce-look Tony.
I'm not on Farce book either, but that link works for me Col.
He got fired by the team, awesome decision
I was racing at Lord of the Lake at Lakeside yesterday.
I reckon if someone had pulled a stunt like that there
they would be invited to leave immediately and not come back ever.
He'll not get another ride hopefully a lesson to all up and coming rides that this type of thing will never be acceptable ever.
:furious:
According to BBC website he's been sacked!
Not a moment too soon.
Fenati will allways have to live with the shame of pulling that stunt. As he should.
Got the sack from this yrs team and MV for next year. End of his career.
